Turismo4GT

@wiiware you're right. We won't have this problem... it may be worse, since game file and patch file sizes will likely be even larger.

Ah, I was wondering why Gran Turismo Sport needs to do this. Nowadays the game is absolutely massive (almost 100GB) and I don't have the best internet speeds, so the combination of slow downloads and even slower game file copying and reinstallation means quite a wait for me.

@Porco then that would mean only around 2 NFS games in a console generation. That just cannot do, EA likes money too much to allow that.

Mr. Hayter is well within his rights to be ticked off at the use of, what is in essence, his/Konami's intellectual property, without permission. I'm a bit surprised that no one in EVO's organization thought "yeah, this is a bad idea, let's shelf this". They could well be sued to high heaven if Konami and Hayter ever decided to pursue litigation. Not cool, and I hope they learn from this.

@JJ2 a fine excuse to tell the missus why you need a new PS4 or better yet, a PS5, I'm sure 😉

@GodGamer I agree. After all, it's all about personal preference when choosing what to play. I will get Days Gone eventually, but I've been busy of late and have had no gaming time for weeks now.

@Eldritch I stand corrected. Thank you.

Gotta admit, I read the headline as 'Supermarket Shrek', yet was puzzled when I saw no reference to the swamp-dwelling big green Scottish ogre anywhere in the article...🤷🏾‍♂️

Would there be a chance of a second review of this game now that it's had all of these performance patches and DLC added? If not, do you still think it's a 7/10 game?

Congratulations to Sony. I hope the PS4 has a good few years of support left in the tank. I expect the 100 Million Special Edition will be revealed shortly, in Slim and Pro versions please. Hell, I may even pick up a 100 Million Controller if one is offered, even though I don't need another controller.

And I continue to roll my eyes at the hyperbole being spewed about the game. As always, I await the reviews to see if it'll be any good or if it equates to a Kojima-fueled acid trip that no one else can understand what the heck is going on.

I think that's awesome. Nice crossover details in the Sony Cinematic Game Universe (TM)

@LieutenantFatman Sony will benefit from Microsoft's software expertise in A.I., Cloud Gaming, etc., Microsoft will benefit from Sony's expertise in hardware manufacturing, camera sensors, etc.

@shafedog247 Perhaps a voice/party chat update for GT Sport, or maybe preparation for a possible PlayStation All Stars 2?

I'm interested in this game. Even though I prefer to have my games on disc, I'm fine with a digital-only release this time. If it were being released physically as well as on the digital storefront, the latter option would be virtually guaranteed to be the only way I could get it in Barbados anyway without paying and arm and a leg to have it 'special ordered' by one of the game retailers here.

@Pjmcnally697 from your fingers to Naughty Dog's eyes...

No way... they look like real detailed figurines!

I wonder if Sony just put in a call to Insomniac to have their B-Team keep cranking out new Spidey suits and DLC until Spider-Man 2 for PS5 is ready to keep the sales ticking over. It's mighty impressive that this game on just one system beat the sales of other games that have been out a lot longer and on multiple platforms...
Might be just the bargaining chip Sony needs if they offer to buy Insomniac.

Old Nathan Drake totally reminds me of Alex Trebek. Maybe Nate became a game show host after he retired from treasure hunting, could be a decent gig.

The FaceApp image of Deacon is particularly creepy to me. He looks like an octogenarian riding off with a trophy wife 50 years younger that he is.

@Quintumply It will truly go down as the greatest PS4 Firmware Update article in PushSquare history!

@Quintumply Is this the most comments a PS4 firmware update for 'performance improvements' article on PushSquare has gotten so far?

@themcnoisy "Love Monkey Balls"
🤯🧐
Guess you really loved the Ape Escape games then?

Incredible artwork. I love his style.

I was personally quite attached to Firmware Update 5.50.
Ah, the good old days when PS4 used to get actual feature updates...
** a nostalgic tear forms in the corner of my one good eye **

I remember the good old days when 15GB meant you were downloading the whole game... so I'd not be surprised if 'patches' are easily 50+ GB in size next generation.
I want my 3MB Genesis cartridges back, dammit!

@rjejr Yeah, and it'll sell because it's made by Nintendo, not Sony. I really think that Sony should give it another go. Clearly Nintendo has proved that there is still a profitable market for dedicated portable gaming systems, and have gone as far as to pretty much pinch the original concept of the Vita with this (non) Switch Lite.

I'm kinda hoping the Switch Lite takes off and spurs Sony to say "Yeah, we want some of that."

I figure if Sony can capture most of the excitement surrounding the launch of the PS4 with the buildup towards their 5th generation console, and capitalize on their 25 years of awesome games, PS5 will be a winner.

@playstation1995 I was rocking my Genesis all the way up to 1999, then I began to take notice of this little thing called 'Sony PlayStation'. Word up, son.

Hmm, should that not have been the goal in the first place, the whole 'pleasing the fans' thing? Sounds like a bit of PR fluff trying to pose as real guy talk to me.
That said, I do look forward to seeing what they've come up with. I doubt it will please everyone that is a Sonic fan, but that's just life.

Paging @playstation1995 would you wear these, son?

Wow, these officially licensed PlayStation apparels have really taken a turn for the threadbare.
These are officially licensed, right?

@kyleforrester87 I know right. I was of the opinion that it was going to be this generation's The Last Guardian, now here we are mere months away from its initial release.
Now that episodic, likely cross-generational non-scheduled release schedule though...

@Carl-G Real-time ray-traced reflections of environments and surrounding cars on car bodies, true body panel crash deformation, even better lighting with dynamic time-of-day changing lighting conditions are some of the ways they can make future GT titles look better. I don't know if all of that can be achieved on PS5 but we can hope. As for the quality of the car models now, I remember reading that the static models are just shy of the manufacturer's CAD models in complexity. That should bode well for the quality of in-game models we can expect in future GT games.

Wow, that Decima Engine really is versatile, isn't it? I take it this version will be running at 300 FPS on PS4.

A launch price of $500 for the PS5 pretty much means it'll be more than 3 times that price here in Barbados. I'm expecting around $1700-1750 local price. A PS4 Pro still costs around $1100-$1200 here. I won't worry too much about that though, as I will not buy a launch system. I'll probably jump into PS5 about year or two after launch, hopefully my 2015 PS4 keeps on trucking until then.

@Th3solution Don't give them any ideas, for the love of Jeebus!

As with nearly all PlayStation consoles before, except for PS3, Gran Turismo will be one of the main reasons I will get a PS5.

Really looking forward to this and eager to see how it runs on PS4.

@ILoveVideoGames at least you fully own it. PS Plus members are only 'renting' it

Wait, what?
Now I know the choices of PES 2019 and Horizon Chase Turbo weren't exactly going down well with a lot of PS Plus subscribers, but swapping out one game completely with one of Sony's own, very recent exclusives... I don't know how to feel. While I will DEFINITELY download Detroit, this is going to spark some controversy. Possible scenarios:
(1) Sony just essentially scuttled whatever deal they had with Konami to have PES 2019 on PS Plus for this month, which could have a negative effect on boosting multiplayer numbers that Konami could have been banking on.
(2) By folding to the pressure this early on and swapping the game, this will put more pressure on Sony to offer at least one AAA on Plus per month. Not every month is going to be stellar and more people are likely to already own the AAA releases, which devalues the service more. Next month would be a good time to announce PS Now being rolled into Plus to counter that.
(3) Barring any announcement of PS Now being integrated with PS Plus, and since Sony didn't just add Detroit to the lineup instead of swapping with PES, we're getting 2 games per month for PS Plus until further notice, folks. That's it.

Hmm, guess we're not getting a 'Complete Edition' of this game anytime soon.

Supes, is that you? Why is your hair so long and grey?

The only thing that's missing is the PlayStation's infamous texture warping and visible polygon breakup seams.

I may give Horizon Chase Turbo a try, but most likely I'll jump into my backlog this month.

Yeah, unless Google is throwing some major bucks at them to keep this as an exclusive for Stadia, Tequila Works would be stupid to ignore the sales potential and massive install bases of the PS4, Xbox One and Switch. I imagine Gylt for the non-streaming-based platforms will also possibly run better (especially on Pro and X) and...

be available ALL of the time to play.

@ShogunRok any idea how it runs on standard PS4? I know you reviewed it on PS4 Pro, but judging from the screenshots it doesn't look like it should give the OG too much trouble. I loved Samurai Showdown back in the day on Genesis.

I am disappoint 😔

@Porco remember Sony has said there are unannounced new titles from Sony Worldwide Studios coming for PS4. Just as well, as they are guaranteed to be compatible with the PS5.
So don't write off the PS4 just yet!
